High Altitude operations (Turbo charge???)

So you think the leaf blower idea would be about as effective at
increasing
HP, as farting into the carb for the methane content?

You may have a point. Anyone have some pressure gauge that could measure
the small amounts of boost at the business end of a leaf blower? I would
be
curious to see what good one would do.

Actually, two things came to mind.
1. Using the leaf blower to:
a. burn gasoline to
b. turn a fan to
c. blow air into another engine to:
d. burn gasoline to
e. turn a fan to
f. produce thrust
Seems somewhat inefficient. If the leaf blower simply uses its horsepower to
add the thrust, it cuts out steps c, d, & e.

2. The leaf blower would be suffering the same anoxia as the main
powerplant. Perhaps one could use a Cox .049 to increase its manifold
pressure? ;o)
